unit 2 working the land(建議用時：35分鐘).閱讀理解a(2020沈陽高三質(zhì)監(jiān))china is a large producer and consumer of rice. but, as a result of climate change, the amount of land available for rice growing in the country is shrinking. the concern has motivated scientists led by yuan longping，known as “the father of hybrid rice”， to look for new ways of growing the grain.now theyre celebrating successful efforts to grow ricein sand and seawater. rice is traditionally grown in soil and fresh water. starting from january, according to the official xinhua news agency, the scientists have grown dozens of varieties of rice in the deserts of dubai. they experimented with seawater because it is easier to obtain in the desert than fresh water.china is not the only country facing the issue of overly salty soil. around the world, there are around 2.35 billion acres of highly saline(含鹽的) land. and the number is increasing because of rising sea levels and climate change.“probably only a small part of the worlds saline land could be brought into production with seawater rice，but that would still have a very important effect on food security，” even r. pay, a senior analyst, said.yuan told xinhua that one of the varieties of rice grown in dubai produced over three tons, per acre, which yuan said was beyond expectations.rice is the basic food in many parts of the world. about 90% of rice consumption is from asia, but demand in africa and latin america is on the rise.a climate change researcher said the successful experiment could potentially benefit many countries. “this is a fantastic development, which is likely to have a good effect on agricultural resource and waterpoor countries, particularly in north africa region.”even though the cost of growing salttolerant rice is still high，it will also have strategic value once its commercialized.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文主要介紹了在“雜交水稻之父”袁隆平帶領(lǐng)下的科學(xué)家們進(jìn)行了在沙子和海水中種植水稻的試驗。1what has caused the scientists to find new ways of growing

confirmed, promoting organic food consumption could be a promising preventative strategy against diseases, a team of researchers from several french institutions said.among the environmental risks for cancer, there are growing concerns about exposure to different types of pesticides(殺蟲劑) from farming. the impact of such chemicals on the human body is still not well understood, but there are some indications that harmful effects can occur even at low concentrations.meanwhile, pushed by environment and health concerns, the organic food market continues to grow rapidly. organic food is produced without the use of synthetic(合成的) fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms and veterinary(獸醫(yī)的) medications.“organic foods are less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional foods, and studies have shown that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticides，” julia baudry, lead author of the study from the centre of research in epidemiology(流行病學(xué)) and statistics in france, told newsweek.“in the general population, the primary route of exposure is the diet, especially intake of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. however, few studies have examined the association between organic food consumption and cancer risk.”for the study, published in the journal jama internal medicine, a team of researchers examined data on the organic food consumption frequency and dietary intake of 68，946 french adults collected by an ongoing survey which began in 2009. they then followed up these people at various points in the future.participants reported how often (never, occasionally or most of the time) they consumed 16 types of organic foods including fruits, vegetables, soybased products, dairy products, meat and fish, eggs, grain and legumes, bread and cereals, flour, vegetable oils and condiments, readytoeat meals, coffee, tea and herbal tea, wine, biscuits, chocolate, sugar and so on.【解題導(dǎo)語】一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，食用有機食品與降低患癌風(fēng)險之間存在聯(lián)系。如果新的研究結(jié)果被證實的話，提倡食用有機食品是一種很有發(fā)展前景的預(yù)防疾病的策略。5what is the finding of the study?aprocessed food consumption may lead to an increased risk of cancer.bpromoting organic food consumption may help to prevent diseases.corganic food consumption can help cure cancer in a short time.deating a diet based on organic food may lead to the risk of cancer.b解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“if the new results are confirmed, promoting organic food consumption could be a promising preventative strategy against diseases.”可知，該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)食用有機食品可能會幫助人們預(yù)防疾病。故選b項。6why is organic food becoming popular nowadays?aorganic food never contains harmful chemicals.borganic food market continues to grow rapidly.cpeople care about environment and health issues.dorganic food is produced in a clean environment.c解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“meanwhile, pushed by environment and health concerns, the organic food market continues to grow rapidly.”可知，現(xiàn)在有機食品流行是因為人們關(guān)注環(huán)境與健康問題。故選c項。7which of the following is the advantage of organic food?aorganic food never contains harmful pesticide remains.borganic food is less likely to be exposed to some pesticides.cdifferent types of pesticides wont affect organic food.dorganic food wont be influenced by outside environment.b解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“organic foods are less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional foods, and studies have shown that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticides”可知，有機食品含有殺蟲劑殘留物的可能性低于傳統(tǒng)食品，研究還表明有機食品可降低受某些殺蟲劑影響的程度。故選b項。8what might the article go on describing after the last paragraph?athe researching process of the study.bthe disadvantages of organic food.cthe bright future of organic food.dother researches on organic food.a解析：推理判斷題。最后一段介紹了研究的參與者報告他們食用16種不同類型的有機食品的頻率，下一步應(yīng)該是對實驗數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行研究，即實驗的研究過程。a項意為“這項研究的研究過程”；b項意為“有機食品的缺點”；c項意為“有機食品光明的未來”；d項意為“其他關(guān)于有機食品的研究”。故選a項。.七選五(2020安徽重點中學(xué)模擬)making

day.”可知，之所以作者給讀者提出建議，是因為這些食物如果擺在饑餓的讀者面前，讀者很難作出健康的選擇，因此選c項。2a解析：后一句中作者建議查看學(xué)校餐廳提供的每周或每月的菜單，這樣有助于提前作出決定，因此這里指得到一份菜單，故選a項。雖然b項也提到菜單，但是“你給學(xué)校餐廳提供菜單”不符合實際情況和語境。3d解析：本段的主題句是“head for the salad bar.”，d項正是建議你利用學(xué)校的沙拉售貨臺。故選d項。4g解析：本段的主題句說明了選擇食物時要考慮食物所能提供的能量。前一句表明“選擇低脂肪的食物，如雞肉、豆類或低脂奶制品，并在食物中加入大量的水果和蔬菜”，g項中的they指的是上文提到的這些食物，同時也闡述了這些食物含有身體需要的礦物質(zhì)和能量。5f解析：由上文的“take along a healthy snack.to fight hunger between classes”可知，吃一些健康的零食能夠緩解饑餓，補充體力，f項中的“it”指代前面的“a healthy snack”，因此f項符合此處語境。.語法填空(2020太原階段測評)in the past few years, more than half of bookstores in china have closed down, 1._ is the
